Game modes of Mastrmind
Classic Mode
This is the traditional game mode which is generally more difficult. What makes it difficult for beginners is that the position of each clue does not always exactly match the position of each color, so carefulness in guessing the color that corresponds to each clue is really needed. The problem is that the clues are given randomly.
Initiation Mode
This mode is easier because each hint is given according to the position of each color. That’s why the first position clue corresponds to the color of the first position, the second position clue corresponds to the color of the second position, and so on. This mode is more recommended for beginners.

How is Mastermind Mobile played?
It’s easy, just place the color in the position you want. The position must be in the line of play. Then you have to fill in the rows sequentially and they cannot be repeated. In other words, once you fill in a row, you can only move on to the next row. After all lines are filled in you will see a hint. If the shield can be opened before the end of the game, then you can obtain the secret code.

Black: The color has been placed correctly.
White: Warma is placed in the wrong position.
Blank: Color placement that does not exist in the secret code.
